Firefighting foam concentrates for the chemical industry
There are several risks in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, such as in power plants, distilleries, solvent and coatings (paintings, varnish, perfume, aroma, essential oils, fragrances…) manufacturing plants and warehouses:
- Inflammable liquid fires (class B fire): hydrocarbon fire type (water-immiscible) or polar solvent fire type (water-miscible)
- The release of toxic vapours
The extinguishment and control of water-miscible fuel requires a versatile or AR (Alcohol-Resistant) firefighting foam concentrate. For class B polar solvents fire, the application must be gentle (indirect application). For class B hydrocarbon fire, the application can be direct or indirect.
Toxic vapors are an increasingly danger, characterised by the release into the atmosphere of gaseous substances. These chemical products have a high capability to destroy standard firefighting foams. In some cases, the application of standard firefighting foam is strongly discouraged as the reaction can be violent. On the other hand, the application of a specially designed NEUTRAL PLUS foam is highly recommended to control the fuel spill and suppress vapors.
With BIOEX product portfolio, you can choose between environmentally friendly Fluorine-Free Foam (F3) and fluorinated foam designed with latest C6 surfactants (short-chain). Our firefighting foams are suitable with fixed/mobile foam equipment. BIOEX high performance foam concentrates are UL Listed, EN1568 and LASTFIRE certified by third party.
BIOex can support you in your industrial fire protection choice and bring you its expertise on your specific risk (lab test or small-scale and large scale fire test for example).
